Japanese Church works at earthquake recovery under threat of nuclear crisis :: EWTN News

Bishops in Japan and Catholic aid workers have met for an emergency meeting in Sendai – one of the worst effected areas in the country after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami  – to plan their relief effort. Caritas Japan announced that it will create an aid center in the region.

 The gathering comes amid recent explosions at damaged nuclear reactors which could signify an eventual meltdown, Japanese officials worry.

“The situation is very difficult,” Bishop Martin Tetsuo Hiraga of Sendai said. “We are not yet able to comprehend the enormity of the disaster.”
